MacadamiZipg the Streets,

The steam stone crusher owned jointly
by the city and county, is changing our
streets with magic CELEBRITY. Though only
run by a 1O-hOrse engine-when Is horse
is the proper one-it is turning out 100
cartloads day, at cost, delivered and
spread, of only sixteen cents load. The
result is already visible on Lewis street,
points on Main street, Prospect street, and
other thoroughfares. at this rate. in few
weeks the streets of the whole City can be
put IN good condition. The rock is broken
small and soon adjusts itself to the sur
face. Chairman Crowle, of the Street
Committee, is pushing the work, in which
he is actively seconded by Super
lntendent Hounihan. The crusher goes to
the county about the 1s5 of January.

CAPTURED in Alabama.

On the 28sh day of July, 1886, VIM. ID
Myers of this county was walking about
the court yard, on bail, waiting for 10
O'Clock to arrive, at which hour his trial
J for felonious assault on Albert IL. ROl-
Ter, for which he had been indicted, would
commence. In fact it had commenced,
the preIiminalies having been gone
into in the court the day before. When
| 10 O'Clock came his case was called. Inc
Judge was on the bench, the Common
wealth's Attorney at his post. and the
counsel for the accused sat in the bar. The
accused was called loudly at the front
! door of the court house by the Deputy
| Sheriff. He did not appear. nor from that
| day to this has he made his appearance
| His bordsmen in the sum of ST. 900, were
B. Frank Eakle, Tobias Weller and G. IL.
| Cochran. Judge Stout ordered them to
| be proceeded against for the amount of
the forfeited bail, and it looked very much
as if the innocent were about to suffer for
the guilty. Very lately however, one of
| the bondsmen came Into possession OF the
| fact that Myers was at Decatur, Ala. A
requisition from Gov. Lee was obtained,
and Sheriff Speck and ex.Sheriff A. B.
Lightner started to Montgomery, Ala, to
give it 10 the Governor of that State and
get from him an order of extradition. All
this was very quietly, and it was hoped
secretly, done, but it turned out that the
news got abroad, whereupon to make sure,
one of the bondsmen telegraphed to Deca-
tur direct. for Myers arrest which was
made. Myers got counsel and made a
strong fight for liberty, but Sheriff Speck
got there during the fight. with the order
from the Governor for M. s txtraditiOn,
and employing counsel went into the
courts. The fight ended in the Sheriff g
favor, and yesterday morning he arrived
in Stanton with the prisoner.
The prisoner, We hear, says that he can
not imagine why he ran off, unless he was
1.-THE biggest fool in the world" He Was
waiting for the trial, and something or
| somebody suggested he had better 60 and
be started out to walk to an uncle's near
Midway. He was just getting out of the
town when the court house bell rang. He
staid at bis uEcle's aid afterwards went
down TO his own home and stayed night.
leaving the house just as lawyer who
was hunting him came in at the door. He
said he had been in Alabama since about
last December.
